文摘This paper gives a brief introduction to a few new indexes and methods published in recent issues of seismological literature which have been explored especially by the authors and many of their collaborators for applying in earthquake prediction research. The new indexes include the statistical indexes of seismicity (Morishita index Iδ, the parameters C and b-value spectrum derived from the magnitude-frequency relation, etc. )and indexes describing the dynamical characteristics of seismic waves obtained from digitized seismologicrecords (wave form linearities, spectral characteristics, etc. ).
